  • question_answer
    An object is located in a fixed position in front of a screen. Sharp image is obtained on the screen for two positions of a thin lens separated by 10 cm. The size of the images in two situations are in the ratio 3 : 3. What is the distance between the screen and the object?   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 11 Apirl  2014 )

    A) 124.5 cm                             

    B) 144.5 cm

    C) 65.0 cm                                

    D) 99.0 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given: Separation of lens for two of its position, d = 10 cm Ratio of size of the images in two positions \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{2}\] Distance of object from the screen, D = ? Applying formula, \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}=\frac{{{(D+d)}^{2}}}{{{(D-d)}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{3}{2}=\frac{{{(D+10)}^{2}}}{{{(D-10)}^{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{3}{2}=\frac{{{D}^{2}}+100+20D}{{{D}^{2}}+100-20D}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3{{D}^{2}}+300-60D=2{{D}^{2}}+200+40D\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{D}^{2}}-100D+100=0\] On solving, we get D = 99 cm Hence the distance between the screen and the object is 99 cm.
